Title: Motorsport Country Club? Post by: Speeddog on March 15, 2011, 09:49:52 PM http://roadracingworld.com/news/article/?article=43688 (http://roadracingworld.com/news/article/?article=43688)
Membership limited to 500 people? WTF are they thinking? Title: Re: Motorsport Country Club? Post by: Desmostro on March 16, 2011, 04:17:59 AM Sounds very business and car oriented. $5 says they won't allow motorcycles.
We should start a country club! Not in the ugliest desert you've ever seen ass-hat-part of America. In a place that you'd actually like to be. Let's buy Laguna Secca! Old military compounds are going for cheap these days. They tend to have beachfront property! Title: Re: Motorsport Country Club?

Title: Re: Motorsport Country Club? Post by: swampduc on March 17, 2011, 02:51:43 PM There's a new track being built along these lines in Avondale, LA, just outside New Orleans. It's set to open in July and I've already signed on as a moto member [evil]
That's the thing: these guys have included motorcyclists from the outset and have a relationship with the local Ducati shop to provide service at the track. They offer moto memberships at a lower price than car memberships, though with fewer features than car memberships. They also plan on having public trackdays from the beginning, starting in August. Maybe we should do a DIMBY Dirty Coast out of NOLA one of these years? [evil] Title: Re: Motorsport Country Club?
